Slow cooker red cabbage and apple

Everyone has different things they stick on their Christmas dinner. This year we wanted to try something different, and was told about this recipe. As it is cooked in the slow cooker, i could cook this in advance and freeze it ready for christmas day, saving me time. Plus it provides a very festive smell in the kitchen :)
